"Chapter 8: The Hotel Turmoil"

Hearing the words of the three people, Louis Kalen paused for a moment, looked at Dylan and asked, "Are you sure this is the Rune Stone?"

Hearing Luica's questioning words, Dylan jumped up directly, ran to Luica, and said loudly: "Of course it's certain, although the last time I saw the rune stone was several years ago, but I will never forget what it looks like, Luica, how did you get this rune stone, do you have any other rune stones?"

Looking at Dylan's expectant eyes, Luiga shook his head and said, "No, I'm just going to have this one, this is what I searched for on Chad before." ”

"My God, your luck is too good Luiga, this is a rune stone, with this rune stone, even if you don't have a rune talent, you have a high probability of becoming a first-level rune master. Dylan said to Luiga.

Hearing Dylan's words, Luica said secretly: "This rune stone is so magical, Dylan and Charles have said before that without rune talent, they may not be able to become a rune master in this life, such a small spar can actually make someone without rune talent become a rune master." ”

Thinking of this, Luica looked at Dylan and asked, "Then how do you use this rune stone?"

"It's very simple, you can hold the rune stone and meditate and cultivate, just like when you usually cultivate. Dylan told Louis Card.

Time passed quickly, and after three days of carriage for Luiga, the four-man carriage finally arrived at Presidium, which was the political and economic center of Ionia, and every Ionian had a yearning for Presidium.

The carriage came to the city gate of Prestian, Luiga and the four got off, when he saw the majestic buildings of Prescidian, Luiga was shocked, he saw a lot of high-rise buildings in his previous life, but none of these buildings brought him a big visual impact, compared with the buildings on the earth, Luiga felt that the buildings here seemed to have life!

Looking at the bustling street, Luica felt like a country man entering the city, looking at the crowd of people coming and going, Luica found that many people were wearing weapons, and probably knew in her heart that these should be rune masters, looking at the rune masters coming and going, Luica was a little shocked, in Lulin Town, he had only seen two rune masters, one of them was Charles, and the other was Jiger who was killed by him.

"Luiga, how is it, have you been shocked by the prosperity of Presidium? I was the same as you when I first came here, here, runemasters are not so valuable, this is a paradise for the strong, here, as long as you have strength, you can get anything you want. Dylan said to Luiga.

At this time, Eli said to the three of them: "Everyone, Presidian has arrived, and it is time for everyone to separate, everyone should go back to their respective homes, all prepare well, and see you on the day of the enrollment of the Ionian Union Academy!"

After speaking, Eli looked at Luica and said, "Luica, what are your plans?" ”

"I haven't figured it out yet, I'm new to the school, and I'm going to get acquainted with Presidium first, and when it's time for the Ionian League Academy to enroll, I'm going to try my luck. Luiga said helplessly.

Dylan looked at Luiga and asked, "Luiga, do you want to go home with me, our family has a big house in Presidium, and you have no problem coming to live here!"

Luica thought about it, but still shook his head, he planned to take advantage of this short time to cultivate well, there are still ten days before the enrollment time of the Ionian Alliance Academy, he plans to break through to the first-level rune master during this time, and then find a chance to see if he can join the Ionian Alliance Academy.

"Forget it, I won't bother you. I got a few hundred gold coins from Chad before, and I'm not short of money, I'm going to have a good time in Presidium, you better prepare at home, don't be recruited by the Ionian Alliance Academy at that time, then your dad may really kill you. Luiga said to Dylan with a smile.

Seeing that Luiga did not want to go to his house, Dylan did not force it, so the few people separated, Eli and the three went home, Luiga wandered the street alone, he was going to find a place to live first, Luiga turned around for a while, and finally found a hotel called Gilman and walked in.

The Gilman Hotel is not very big, and the place is relatively remote, Luiga chose to live here because of its quietness, Luiga walked in, he found that the furniture in the hotel was relatively old, looked around, Luiga found that there was no one in this hotel, not even a shopkeeper.

Luiga looked around, but saw no one, and just as he was about to leave, a woman walked in from outside, this woman was about twenty years old, with large wavy light yellow curly hair, and a hint of bright red on her light yellow hair, wearing a small leather coat, her bumpy figure was vividly delicate, a pair of small leather boots made a very crisp sound on the ground, and a small fur hat on her head, this was a woman who was both coquettish and wild.

Luiga was stunned for a moment, he was amazed by the beauty of this woman, and he felt that compared to this woman, the beauties he had seen on TV in his previous life seemed to be overshadowed.

The woman walked towards Luica, her figure was very tall, and she walked in front of Luiga in a few steps, feeling the charming aura coming from the woman's body, Luiga felt that her heart was about to jump out.

"Kid, take care of your eyes, or you'll find that your eyes will be gone from you in the next moment!" the woman glared at Luiga.

Luiga came to her senses, scratched her hair a little embarrassed, and lowered her head, preparing to bypass the woman and leave the Gilman Hotel.

Just as he was about to leave, a coquettish voice came, "Little ghost, what are you doing sneaking around in my hotel?"

Luica stopped and said to the woman, "I'm not sneaky, I just want to stay in a hotel, I just saw that there was no one here, so I looked around." ”

The woman found a chair and sat down, with a pair of long legs directly on the table, the sitting posture was very attractive, she glanced at Luiga and said, "Since you want to stay in a hotel, why do you want to leave, do you think I'm not good here?" The woman's voice was very lazy, but every syllable was clear, and after she said this, she took out two pistols from her waist and put them on the table, the guns looked very old and bronze, but the body of the gun was carved with some strange lines, and the lines also emitted a red glow.

Luiga didn't expect that this hotel was actually opened by this woman, he was a little entangled now, where did he dare to say that this hotel was not good, it can be seen from the gun that the woman took out, this woman is definitely a rune master, once he provokes her, he may be beaten into a sieve by these two guns in the next moment, but he doesn't want to live here, although this woman is very tempting, but Luiga feels danger from her.

Luiga was stunned to think in place, but the woman didn't seem to have much patience, she picked up a gun from the table, and inadvertently aimed at Luica, Luiga saw the black muzzle of the gun pointed at her, and cold sweat flowed.

The woman asked urgingly, "Little ghost, you can't live it!"

"Stay, I live. Luiga said it without hesitation, he really didn't dare to provoke this woman anymore, and began to slander in his heart: "Scare people with guns at every turn, is this a black shop!"

Hearing Luiga's answer, the woman smiled, and she got up and walked over to Luica. looked at him playfully and said, "Very good, little ghost, count you as acquaintances, I am such a good hotel, where can you find it outside." ”

Hearing the woman's words, Luica complained in her heart: "I, I don't know how many years I haven't renovated your broken place, it's not because I'm afraid of your two broken guns, so I don't live here." ”

Although he was dissatisfied, Luiga did not show it, as a young man in the 21st century, he smiled on the surface, and his mother's acting skills in his heart were already perfect, and he said to the woman with a smile: "It's my honor to live in such a good hotel!"

Seeing Luiga's face suddenly change, the woman also became interested, giggled, and said to Luica: "Little ghost, you are very interesting, in that case, please pay for the hotel, the cost of such a good hotel is not low!"

Hearing the woman's words, Luiga felt that something was wrong, but the woman's gun was always inadvertently aimed at his head, how dare he disobey the woman, he could only follow the woman's words and say: "You must pay for staying in a hotel, so how much does it cost for a day?"

"Little ghost, my hotel is not an ordinary hotel, I don't live in this hotel every day, take out all your money!" the woman said playfully, looking at Luiga.

When Luica heard the woman's words, he immediately became angry, and was just about to scold and rob, the gun in the woman's hand shook in front of his eyes, Luica held back the words, and said with a wry smile: "Sister, are you joking with me again, do you have to pay all the money out of a hotel?"

The woman touched the gun in her hand and smiled at Luica, "Do you think I'm a joker, or do you think I'm very patient with the gun in my hand?"

Feeling the coldness coming from the muzzle of the gun, Luiga hurriedly pulled out the money bag and handed it to the woman.

The woman took the money bag, looked at it, weighed the weight, nodded with satisfaction, and said to Luiga with a smile: "Little ghost, can't you see it, you are quite rich, okay, these gold coins are even the cost of your hotel, you can live here with confidence." ”

Hearing the woman's words, Luiga almost went mad with anger, and said to herself: "Is this woman a robber? Isn't this Chiguoguo's robbery! Staying in this broken hotel costs me 400 gold coins, and I can buy several such hotels for 400 gold coins!"

Luiga smiled bitterly and said to the woman: "Sister, isn't this a little expensive?" ”

Seeing Luica's face, the woman smiled even more happily, took out a gold coin from Luica's money bag and threw it to Luiga and said: "It seems that it is indeed a little expensive, sister, I am not an unreasonable person, I will leave you a gold coin, little ghost, you are very lucky, for so many years, you are the first person who can let me take out gold coins, you don't have to be too grateful to me." After saying that, the woman laughed uncontrollably.

The corners of Luica's mouth twitched, he felt that this woman was shameless to the extreme, but he dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, and finally Luiga sighed and looked at the woman helplessly.

Luiga compromised, and was about to ask the woman where her room was, but before he could ask, the woman walked out with Luiga's money bag, Luiga looked at her back dumbfounded, and said secretly: "I'll rub, who is this, the money has been collected, and he left without arranging a room for me, what kind of service attitude is this." ”

Luiga was about to chase out, when a middle-aged man walked in from outside, and when the middle-aged man saw Luica, he immediately greeted him, and said to Luiga with a smile: "Young man, I'm sorry, I left just now, are you going to stay in a hotel?"

"Staying in a hotel?" Luiga froze when she heard the middle-aged man's words, looked at the middle-aged man suspiciously, and asked, "Who are you?"

Hearing Luiga's words, the middle-aged man waved his hand and said, "No, how can I afford to hire a guy in this small hotel, I am the owner of this inn, and my name is Borg." ”

Luica was dumbfounded, and said to the middle-aged man in a daze: "You are the boss, who was that woman just now?"

Borg looked at Luiga suspiciously, and said, "Which woman? I don't have a woman here, young man, are you alright?"

"It's the woman who went out just now, it's beautiful, the one in her twenties, think about the boss," Luiga said to Borg with some excitement.

Borg's eyes began to change when he looked at Luica, and he looked at Luica like a fool, "Young man, are you delusional? ”

"Is this hotel really yours?" Luiga asked again, a little reluctantly.

Borg's face became a little unkind, and he said to Luiga: "What's the matter with you young man, I said that I am the owner of this inn, and you still ask, I have been here for decades, you can't live, don't stop and leave, don't disturb me doing business!"

Luiga still didn't understand, he was tricked by the woman just now, Luica's face became ugly, and he muttered: "Robber, liar, cheat me for gold coins, rune master is amazing, don't fall into my hands in the future, otherwise you will look good!"

Luiga touched the last gold coin in her pocket, looked at Borg weakly and asked, "Uncle Borg, how much does it cost you to stay here for a night?"

"One silver coin a day, my hotel is the cheapest in Ionia, don't worry, I'm a decades-old hotel, and I will never cheat you", Borg patted his chest and said.

Hearing Borg's words, Luica glanced at him and muttered, "I was cheated with 400 gold coins from you just now, and you told me not to cheat." However, Luiga thought that he only had one gold coin left now, and he might not be able to afford to live in other places for a day, and the Ionian Union Academy still had more than ten days to start recruiting students, so in order not to sleep on the streets for more than ten days, he had to reluctantly say to Borg: "Uncle Borg, then I will live for ten days first."

Saying that, Luiga handed Borg a gold coin, Borg took the gold coin, his face was very happy, his inn is the cheapest in Ionia, yes, but it is also the worst business in Ionia, and no one comes all year round, because he is too dilapidated here, and he has no extra money to decorate this hotel, so he can only live one day at a time.

Borg handed Luiga 90 silver coins, took him to a room on the second floor, and said to Luiga: "Young man, this is your room, you have a good rest, I am downstairs, you can call me if you have anything." After saying that, Borg was about to leave, and when he reached the door, he suddenly turned around again, and said to Luica: "Young man, I forgot to tell you, my hotel does not care about food, and you have to solve it yourself if you want to eat", and left without waiting for Luiga to speak.

"Is it Tai Sui today? I was cheated of gold coins, and I found a hotel and didn't care about food?" Luiga complained in her heart.

Luiga glanced around the room, it was rudimentary. With only one bed, not even a table, he couldn't figure out how such an inn could have been opened to the present day.

Luica sat on the bed, put aside these unpleasant experiences for the time being, calmed down, took out the rune stone from his arms, looked at the blue spar in his hand, Luica couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and muttered: "Fortunately, the woman didn't search her body, if this rune stone was searched by her, she really wanted to find a place to die!"

Luica held the rune stone in his hand, sat cross-legged, and began to meditate, just after entering the cultivation state, Luica felt that the rune power in the rune stone in his hand was pouring into the cyan light cluster of his arm, and the blue rune power was converted into the cyan rune power and injected into his first rune seal.

As soon as he practiced for a while, Luica felt the magic of the rune stone, the current cultivation speed is at least three times that of his previous cultivation, and the power of the runes in his body increased rapidly, an hour passed, and the power of the runes in Luiga at this time reached 600 Gerd, a full increase of 37 Gerd, which made Luica a little amazed, and looked at the rune stone in his hand, the color on it was a little lighter, this is the manifestation of the power of the runes in it being consumed, and when the power of the runes inside is all consumed, the rune stone will become white, without any rune power。

Luica practiced in the room for a whole day, and when his spiritual power was exhausted, he meditated and recovered, and now the rune power in Luica's body has reached 667 Ge, feeling the power of the runes in his body, Luica feels that his body is full of power.

It was getting dark, Luica didn't choose to continue cultivating, he had been practicing for a day, and his stomach was hungry, thinking that this inn didn't care about food, he was going to go out and find a place to eat something, and touched the silver coins in his pocket, and his confidence was not very strong. Thinking of the gold coins he had been cheated of, no, the gold coins that had been robbed, Luiga began to be depressed again.

Luiga went downstairs and walked out of the hotel, the night in Presidium was not as dark as in the town of Rulin, it was brightly lit, and there were illuminated starlight sticks everywhere on the roadside, brighter and better than those street lamps on earth, there were many people on the street, Luiga walked around, and saw a bakery in front of him, and he walked in.

This bread is very spacious, it is a world of difference from the bakery in the town of Lulin, the bakery has all kinds of bread and snacks, Luiga looked at it, chose a loaf of bread and asked, "Hello, how much is this bread?"

The owner of the bakery, a middle-aged woman, smiled and said to Luiga, "10 copper coins!"

Hearing the boss's answer, Luica's heart also relaxed, although it was a little more expensive than the demon in Lulin Town, but it was still within the acceptable range, and finally there was no need to worry about starvation, Luiga bought a few loaves of bread, and after paying for it, he walked out with the bread.

Luiga was eating bread while walking down the streets of Presidian, the taste of bread was no different from that of Rulin Town, since the improvement of living conditions, Luiga had not eaten bread for a long time, and he ate bread with strong resentment, when the food was only to satisfy hunger, it would definitely affect a person's mood.

Luiga walked and walked, he came to the door of a tavern called Scarlet, the door of this tavern is very strange, it is different from ordinary buildings, it is made of some unknown animal bones, Luiga looked at it strangely, felt a little curious, but thinking that he only had dozens of silver coins in his pocket, he had to sigh, tore off a piece of bread, and prepared to leave here.

Just when Luiga was about to leave, he saw a familiar figure, this figure turned to ashes, it is estimated that he will not admit it, this figure is none other than the woman who cheated him of gold coins during the day, at this time this woman is eating in the tavern, Luiga can vaguely see that there are many dishes on her table, look at the bread in her hand, Luica's anger suddenly surged, and rushed into the tavern.

Luiga rushed to the woman, looked at her angrily, the bread in her hand fell on the table, making a dull sound, the woman was just looking down to drink, and when she saw a piece of bread falling on her table, her eyes were instantly cold, and she looked up at the person who threw the bread.

She raised her head, and after finding that the person she saw was Luica, her little face was also a little stunned, and her cold eyes were put away by her, she completely ignored Luica's angry expression, and said to Luiga with a smile: "Little ghost, it turned out to be you, I said which one is so bold without long eyes that dares to trouble me." ”

Luiga's eyes were cold, and he looked at the woman viciously and said: "Don't you think you are very excessive, you cheated me out of my money and ate and drank here, so that I can only eat this hard bread, you pay me back!"

The woman giggled, she shook her hair, and said to Luiga: "Your money is all on this table, these are all the best Warcraft meat, you look at this red and reckless meat, you can see that it is the best ingredients that have just been killed for a long time, and your 400 gold coins, it is not a loss at all." ”

These words made Luiga even more angry, and he pointed at the woman and said, "These are all you eat, what does it have to do with me, you give me back my money!"
